Holsum's reported carbon emissions

In 2021, Holsum reported its carbon emissions data, although specific figures for total emissions in kg CO2e were not disclosed. The company operates within the dairy sector, which is known for its significant environmental impact. Notably, Holsum's carbon intensity for its Irish Dairy products is approximately -0.38543 MJ, indicating a focus on reducing emissions associated with its production processes. Currently, Holsum has not established any formal reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of specified reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it may not yet have formalised strategies to mitigate its impact on climate change. As Holsum continues to navigate the challenges of sustainability in the dairy industry, it remains essential for the company to develop and communicate clear climate commitments to enhance its environmental performance and align with industry standards.
